Tuitama comes up big for Kaimuki

By Jason Kaneshiro on October 6, 2013

Randon Tuitama’s final performance for Kaimuki was among his finest. The senior running back ran for 184 yards on 22 carries and scored two touchdowns in the Bulldogs’ 28-13 season-ending loss to Castle on Friday. The result gave Castle (3-5, 2-4) the OIA Red East’s final playoff berth, while Kaimuki ended the season at 1-7 and 0-6 in league play. Kaimuki twice took leads on Tuitama’s scoring runs, but couldn’t hold off a Castle attack led by quarterback Stephen Lee, […]

Castle and Kaimuki battle for playoff berth

By Jason Kaneshiro on October 1, 2013

Castle’s streak of postseason appearances hinges on maintaining its run of success against Kaimuki. The Knights (2-5 overall, 1-4 OIA Red East) travel to Hawaii Kai on Friday to face the Bulldogs (1-6, 0-5) with the conference’s final playoff berth at stake. Kickoff at Kaiser Stadium is scheduled for around 7:30 p.m. (following the 5 p.m. junior varsity game). Castle enters the regular-season finale for both teams a game ahead in the standings. But a Kaimuki win on homecoming night would […]

Pupule’s ballot: Still 1a and 1b

By Paul Honda on September 13, 2013

This may seem manic or chaotic or just wishy-washy, but here goes. I voted Kamehameha No. 1 on my ballot for the Star-Advertiser Prep Football Top 10 this week. Yet, I expect Punahou to win on a last-minute field goal against the Warriors tonight. Say whuhhh… It’s like this. The Warriors, my opinion, have proven to be worth of the top spot by virtue of five wins, almost all against elite competition. Punahou deserves the spot, too, but until we […]


It’s a lock: Kahuku opens OIA season

By Jerry Campany on August 22, 2013

Maybe it is a good thing that newspapers don’t print point spreads for high school football games any more, because no number would be too high when Kahuku opens league play. The Red Raiders are undefeated in OIA openers since the state championship era began in 1999, and they haven’t even been challenged. Only once in that span has a team finished within a touchdown of the Red Raiders, when Kalaheo challenged Kahuku but came up short 33-26 in 2007. […]

Waipahu’s youngsters get their shot

By Jason Kaneshiro on August 16, 2013

With two first-time starters leading the offense, Waipahu’s defense gave the youngsters a chance to settle into the Marauders’ season opener on Friday night. Academic probation left Waipahu without its regular starters in the backfield, and sophomore quarterback Gavin Marques and running back Matthew Leilua combined for 227 rushing yards, with Marques adding two touchdown passes in his varsity debut in the Marauders’ 19-14 win Friday night. Five lost fumbles, three in the first half, hampered Waipahu’s offense. But the […]

Football Tour: Kaimuki

By Paul Honda on August 11, 2013

Tour stop: Thursday, Aug. 1, 2013 Everything is happening too fast. High school football used to be about two-a-days, three-a-days, at the start of August. But the school year begins earlier than ever, and fall sports follow suit. Kaimuki, with its dwindling enrollment — how on earth can any kid choose Kalani High School when Rainbow Drive-In is practically next door to Kaimuki? — and declining numbers in football, remains in the OIA Red East. The Bulldogs have talent, but […]
